Director Gina Prince-Bythewood's (Beyond the Lights, The Secret Life of Bees) adaptation of Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez's Image Comics series The Old Guard is set to premiere on Netflix on July 10th, and the streaming giant recently announced that the first trailer will be with us this Thursday.
Now, in anticipation of tomorrow's debut, star Charlize Theron has shared the first footage from the movie via a brief teaser video.
There's not a whole lot to break-down here, but we do get a look at Theron's Andromache of Scythia in action along with quick shots of some of her fellow immortal warriors played by KiKi Layne (If Beale Street Could Talk), Luca Marinelli (Trust) and Marwan Kenzari (Aladdin).
The Mad Max:Fury Road actress plays a centuries-old warrior who has died hundreds of times, only to resurrect and continue to fight. When we catch up with her in the present day she's leading a tactical vigilante team of immortal warriors that takes out human traffickers, terrorists, and anyone else who preys on the vulnerable and the innocent.
When new immortal Nile (Layne) joins their ranks, the crew must work even harder to avoid being tracked down by a CIA operative and historian (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who has figured out their identities.
The Old Guard was produced by Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger, along with Theron, Beth Kono and AJ Dix for Denver and Delilah; and Marc Evans. Rucka penned the script himself.
Do you guys plan on checking this out when it hits Netflix in July?
